Columbia University is one of the five oldest universities in the United States, a member of the Ivy League, and it has an even older history than the United States. Columbia University is located in Uptown Manhattan, and until 30 years ago the campus was surrounded by high-class residential areas of British and Dutch residents. The Grand Presidential Memorial, St. Paul's Cathedral, the world's largest outside the Vatican, and Riverside Park are all within close proximity to Columbia University.

However, in recent years, Columbia University has been ranked by the New York Times as the third of the 10 worst universities in the United States. It is very interesting that the top five universities in the list are all world-class universities that everyone is familiar with. For example, the University of Southern California tops the list, Hopkins University ranks second, Yale University ranks fourth, and Duke University ranks fifth.

In fact, the campus of Columbia University is still very safe, even in the middle of the night, there are campus police patrols non-stop. Moreover, there are alarm helpers everywhere on campus, and as long as students press the button, the school police will come to help as soon as possible.

Columbia's reputation as one of the most chaotic and dangerous universities in the United States stems from the fact that it is surrounded by black ghettos. Although Upper Manhattan is the most famous affluent neighborhood in the United States, the Upper East Side has one of the highest housing prices in the United States. But these affluent neighborhoods are usually confined to the area between 60th and 80th streets, and above 90th Street is the famous Harlem district of New York, one of the dirtiest and most dangerous places in all of New York.

There is a very famous line in the TV series "Beijing-Beijing People in New York". If you love someone, send them to New York, because it's heaven, and if you hate someone. Send him to New York, because it's heaven and hell!

And Manhattan is precisely the most realistic of this contradiction. There is only a thin line between heaven and hell! On one side is the splendid and drunken high society, and on the other side is the chaotic and dark underworld. New York, a world of flowers, will always be just a paradise for the rich! For example, like Li Xuan. When you go out, you will be picked up by a chauffeur and accompanied by a bodyguard assistant.

Li Xuan's destination today is Columbia University. Columbia's campus is actually very small, and as a typical urban university, and in Manhattan, where land is at a premium, there is no room for the school to expand around.

"Columbia University has only three undergraduate colleges to recruit students, and the scale is very small, less than 1,000 students a year, and it does not admit female students!" Sophie followed Li Xuan's side, introducing many interesting facts about Columbia University in a timely manner.

When Li Xuan chose a university for his sister Li Xuan before. I also paid a lot of attention to Columbia. In fact, starting with the new batch of undergraduates in September this year, Columbia University will break this tradition that has been maintained for more than 200 years. In his previous life, Brother Qiang's milk tea sister studied at Columbia University, so much so that this school became popular on the Chinese Internet for a while.

For Columbia in 1983, its greatest contribution to the former United States was to produce the first black president of the United States of America. That's right, just over a month ago, Okuhei Carbon just graduated from Columbia College, which is one of the three undergraduate colleges in Columbia University. Who would have thought that this black guy, who is still unknown, would be able to win the presidency of the United States thirty years later.

"The current president of Columbia University is Michael Sauven. Professor Sowen is an old alumnus of Columbia. He enrolled at Columbia University in 1949 and was admitted to Columbia Law School in 1953 after graduating with a bachelor's degree. After receiving his LL.M. in 1955, Professor Sowen taught at the University of Minnesota for two years before returning to Columbia Law School in 1957 to teach where he has been teaching ever since.

1980 year. After the retirement of the old Chancellor, Professor William McGill, Professor Sowen was promoted from Provost to the 17th President of Columbia. The one to his right is the current dean of Columbia Business School, Professor John Burton!"

Sophie followed closely behind Li Xuan. Whispered a brief explanation of the life of the current president of Columbia University. It is clear that she has fully stepped into her role. And showed a very good talent.

"Professor Suowen, Professor Burton, I'm Xuan Li, you can call me Li, or just call me Vincent!" Li Xuan nodded appreciatively at his assistant, then walked forward quickly, and said with a smile to the two.

"Mr. Li, welcome to Columbia University, I believe this is a very correct choice!" Principal Suo Wen and Li Xuan hugged cordially.

The most important job of a school principal in the United States is by no means to manage school affairs, but to collect donations. And today's Li Xuan is a moving dollar in the eyes of Principal Sowen.

That's right, Li Xuan is here to spread wealth! A check for $10 million is donated to the entire Columbia University. Another check for $5 million, which was earmarked for donation to Columbia Business School! The EMBA program that Li Xuan will study is set up by Columbia Business School!

Unlike MBA programs, EMBA programs are commercial programs that are not funded by the state, and universities charge high tuition fees. But for an Ivy League school like Columbia University, it is not only an EMBA program that is open to business, but not just casual cats and dogs can come in.

In order not to smash its own brand, the school will have a strict review of the applicant's qualifications. And if Li Xuan didn't have the halo bonus of the richest man in the world, he would definitely be screened out just by virtue of his ungraduated diploma.

Li Xuan naturally wanted to repay the door of Columbia's great convenience, and the most sincere thing was to donate! Don't look at the amount of 15 million US dollars, which is not small, but Li Xuan donated it in the name of the Oriental Group today.

After a lot of manoeuvring by the tax accountants, most of the 15 million donations can be deducted from taxes in the form of tax exemptions. It can be said that Li Xuan is just generous to the US IRS today!

Of course, since you donate money, you must maximize your benefits. When the two parties signed the donation agreement, the flashing lights in the audience kept flashing, and the sound of "click" sounded in a piece. The richest man in the world is about to enroll in Columbia University to study for an EMBA program, and he has generously donated $15 million to his alma mater before he has even enrolled.

Such a gimmick has attracted the attention of many major American newspapers, including the New York Times, the New York Post, and USA Today, and has also attracted the attention of the three major public television networks: NBC, ABC, CBS.

Li Xuan is by no means a stranger to many Americans, who would have thought that the richest man in the world would not be an American! When Forbes magazine published its first list of the richest people last year, countless Americans felt incredible, so many Americans immediately remembered this oriental face who stole the limelight from all the richest people in the United States.

After Li Xuan became the richest man in the world last year, although he was hyped by the media all over the world, he himself tried his best to avoid media interviews, which made Li Xuan more mysterious. What you can't get is always the best, so the media has never paid less attention to him.

And now the day is not far off when Forbes magazine will publish this year's rich list in August. Forbes released last year only the list of America's richest people. However, a large part of the main business of Dongfang Electric Company is located in the United States, and the wealth created for Li Xuan's personal zào is so amazing that it has reached the point that the editors of Forbes magazine cannot ignore it. The editors estimated at that time that Li Xuan's wealth not only far exceeded that of the richest man in the United States, but also should be the richest man in the world.

In fact, Forbes magazine did not conduct a detailed survey of the world's richest people last year, so Li Xuan's title as the richest man in the world is actually not rigorous. Forbes magazine announced as early as the beginning of the year that this year's rich list will be divided into the United States and the world.

Can Li Xuan continue to succeed in becoming the richest man in the world? This is definitely a new piece of news that can arouse the public's great curiosity! Li Xuan has been staying in Hong Kong before, and it is not easy for the US media to do an exclusive interview with him, but now that he has come to New York by himself, the media will naturally not let go of this kind of good opportunity!

In fact, for Columbia University, Li Xuan's admission is not only beneficial in terms of donations, but also in enhancing the university's image. Even the richest man in the world has traveled thousands of miles to Columbia University to study, and the elites who have not yet applied for the university, what are you still hesitating about!

Therefore, not long after Li Xuan arrived in the United States, Columbia University announced that the world's richest man would be enrolled in the EMBA program of the university's business school!

After the donation ceremony, Li Xuan held a brief press conference with President Sowen and Dean Burton of Columbia University with a smile on his face. At the press conference, the two sides enthusiastically sang praises to each other.

Li Xuan said that Columbia University is a school with a long history and profound academic tradition, and he was honored to have the opportunity to come to Columbia University for further study, hoping to gain new knowledge here!

If it was before, the wayward Li Xuan would definitely not be too lazy to deal with this kind of scene activity. But today, he was very cooperative, and even in the subsequent questioning session of reporters, he patiently answered various questions from American reporters.

In fact, as early as the beginning of Columbia's release of the news, the major media in the United States asked about the taste of the food, and began to contact Li Xuan through various channels, hoping that he would be interviewed or participate in talk show interviews.

There was already a thick stack of invitations in Sophie's hand, if it had been before, Li Xuan would have pushed it off directly! But this time, he didn't do it! (To be continued......
